We played The Reverb on Sunday in support of The Cutting Edge Festival in search of a new artist. We actually got picked out of our region and were going to be up against the winners of the other regions playing at The Sound Academy. Anyways, we had a blast playing and the crowd seemed to enjoy our set. Brad from the Rusty Trombones came out to support us with his girlfriend. Dan from Crookedhook came out as he always does with Sheila, fuckin raddest couple ever. They always come out to our Toronto shows and I don’t think we thank them enough, so THANK YOU!
The show was filled with a bunch of hardcore kids playing hardcore music. One band was a dance fusion mixed with rock. I wasn’t too into them but for what they do, they were probably the best band of the night simply cause they were the most different out of the bunch. There was no drummer but a DJ who was singing. There was another band called Brane who sounded like a heavier version of Nickleback. They covered a Godsmack song, in which I wanted to smack them, and they covered the most typical song to cover from System of a Down, Chop Suey. I was not impressed at all and the million dollars in equipment didnt impress me either. I was waiting for the pyrotechniques to come out.
My favourite band of the night (and when i mean favourite, I mean I pretty much think they should never play again in there entire existence) was the last band. I think it was the last band; the heavy rock/hardcore band. The band actually wasn’t that bad, they had sort of a Black Flag style going on there which had some potential. I really liked the bass player, the fucking guy was intense and he stuck out from the rest, in a good way. The singer, however, was such a typical cock-rock dude that watched a couple of bands play on youtube and thought, “Shit, If I get up on stage and scream I’ll be a complete badass”. He’s definitely one of the guys who don’t get enough sex so they get on stage and pretend like its a pedestal. Or he might just have a small dick. I dont know. I’m surprised he didn’t take his shirt off and flex his sweet muscles. He didn’t surprise me however, when he mentioned his last song being something about sex or about the song being about him having sex the other night. It didn’t even suprise me after the show I saw him trying to pick a fight with another guy outside the venue. Not enough sex resorts to violence in this case. I guess it’s just confused energy. He might even be a little “confused’ himself, sexually oriented-wise. ‘Badass Dude’ wants to be the ‘man’ by starting a band and wave his small cock around. Hey ‘Badass Dude’ there are already bands like that in this field, and they suck.
Word of advice to the rest of the band: KICK THAT GUY OUT AND GET A GUY WHO DOESN’T THINK LISTENING TO HIMSELF GRUNTING WHILE HE WORKS OUT IS MUSIC!
Fuck you ‘Badass Dude’. Fuck you in your stupid ass.
kisses.
